Metagenomic analysis of epitopic fungi in date palm due to salinity
The ITS gene sequence using the Illumina MiSeq platform with a v3 reagent kit (600 cycles). The library was sequenced on an Illumina MiSeq platform with a v3 reagent kit (600 cycles), incorporating >10% PhiX spike-in during sequencing. The unique sequences of DNA fragments (amplicons) were determined from the original data using the DADA2 pipeline,
